Remember Cake Girl?
(warning: this picture is on the bigger side. if you're on a dial-up it's not that important.)

I took this picture right before I left Finland of Nea, Tarja's adorable 3 year-old-walking-adult. I didn't think much of it, other than it was really cute. I made copies for her family and carry a wallet size. Don't you wish you could eat cake like this and be messy?

A copy also exists on Tarja's boyfriend's computer. (He saved them before he burned a whole lotta CDs for me.) Pekka works in the wild and crazy advertising biz as a very successful designer. Apparently he used the Cake Girl in a brochure they were showing a client. A draft brochure. The client simply raved about the little girl and had to have her. All very exciting, as Nea has been officially hired by the company to have photos taken. So much for stock photography.

How did I find out?

Tarja let me know the other day on the phone. In a casual, oh-by-the-way-i-almost-forgot-isn't-that-great-way. Couple things here. Yay! I am good photographer, thank you very much. I think I have an eye for it. However, I'm surprised Pekka would use my work 1) without asking 2) show it to a client and 3) well, I don't know what I mean. But I was kind of irked and pleased at the same time.

bleh.

Do you think you would pass a written driver's exam today?

I started 'studying' for the big day. The things you need to know just baffle me sometimes. I need a California state ID to start the residency process (in order to squeeze a lower priced education out), and (grr) to be able to buy beer/booze without a hassle. Places will actually turn down a NY state ID! The nerve. And the motivation for Irene to stand in line at the DMV:)

From Femmerotic.com comes an interesting article on curvy women. If you skim, I don't want you to miss this tidbit at the end:

A size 1/2, which is purportedly the average size of your run-of-the-mill Hollywood starlet now is the same size as a 6/8T. That's right, the size for your average 6-8-year-old girl.
